Abstract

In a hollow molded container equipped with a label and its production method, molding is made by use of a label consisting, as a base, of a stretched film of a plastic having a thermal shrinkage ratio greater than a mold shrinkage ratio of a plastic constituting the outer surface of a container, at a temperature 40.degree. C. lower than the melting point or softening point of the plastic so that the label is bonded to the container at a residual equilibrium shrinkage ratio (Rs), defined below, of 0.5 to 100%: Rs=L.sub.1 -L.sub.2 /L.sub.1, where L.sub.1 is a length of a label film peeled from the container and L.sub.2 is a length when the peeled label film is brought to equilibrium at the temperature (T.sub.1) described above. In this manner, crease and swelling of the label during labelling operation inside the mold can be prevented and adhesion and peel-resistance between the label and the container outer surface can be improved.
